Default New Shoes...Advice

Greetings, going for some new tires this spring and looking for advice. My options for a wheel/tire package at Getyourwheels.com include:
Hankook Ventus V12
Nitto NT 555
Nitto Invo
Michelin SuperSport
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
No snow,rain,track. Spirited street driving only. Price not major factor although these are listed in price order,low to high.
Best Regards and I look foward to your advice. Peter

How about Firestone Wide Oval Runflats? Mine have 20K on them and look great! Handle well wet or dry and not too noisy.

I know I'm on my 2nd set of Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500's, and I really like them very much. Great highway tire, great in the rain. Mine are not run flats however, but I guess the Wide Oval runflats have been getting rave reviews.

I went with the Hankooks on my GS. So far I am satisfied with 4K miles on them.
